Link in Bio Chrome Extension: Save Any Page in One Click

Linkhiver's Chrome extension does one thing: it takes the page you are looking at and hands it to your link in bio page, filled in and ready to save. No copying the address, no switching tabs, no pasting into a form.

It is free, it speaks seven languages, and it is on the Chrome Web Store now.

What it does

• The toolbar button saves the page you are on. Click it, and your Linkhiver links page opens with the address and the title already filled in.
• The right-click menu covers the other two cases: right-click a page and it saves that page, right-click a link and it saves the link you are pointing at, and text you have selected comes along too.
• It opens in your language — English, Türkçe, Français, Deutsch, Español, Português or Русский, whichever you pick in its settings.

Installing it

1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing and press Add to Chrome.
2. Pin the Linkhiver icon to your toolbar, so saving is one click rather than two.
3. Make sure you are signed in to Linkhiver in the same browser. The extension has no account of its own — it uses the session you already have. If you do not have a page yet, starting one is free.

That is the whole setup. There is nothing to configure unless you want to change the language Linkhiver opens in.

What it can and cannot see

This is the part worth reading, because it is the part most extensions get wrong.

The extension asks for three permissions: contextMenus, storage and activeTab. There are no host permissions — the ones behind "read your data on all websites" in Chrome's install dialog. Without them it cannot run a script on a page you visit, and it cannot read what is on that page.

activeTab gives it the address and title of the tab you are on, and only at the moment you click. Chrome's store listing files that capability under "Web history", so that is the label you will see on the privacy panel. That label is what it covers, and that is the whole of it.

storage keeps two preferences in your own browser: the language Linkhiver opens in, and a local address that only matters if you are running Linkhiver on your own machine for development. Neither leaves your computer.

The extension itself makes no network requests. It has no analytics and nowhere to send them. All it does is build a URL and open a tab.

Where the saved links land

On your links page in the Linkhiver dashboard — the same place as everything you add by hand, under the same plan and the same limits. Nothing is written until you press Save yourself, so a page you opened by accident costs you nothing.

And because the extension never writes on its own, your link cap behaves exactly as it always did: ten links on the free plan, fifty on Pro.

Also on your phone

If you want the same page in your pocket, the iPhone and Android apps handle links, design, QR codes and analytics from the phone in your hand. The extension is the desktop half of the same habit. There is a page about it with the full permission list if you want the details before installing.

Questions

Is the Linkhiver Chrome extension free?

Yes, and it works on the free plan. Your plan's link limit still applies.

Does it work in Edge, Brave or Firefox?

Chromium-based browsers such as Edge and Brave can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store, but Google Chrome is the browser this one is tested in. There is no Firefox or Safari build.

Do I need to be logged in?

Yes. The extension opens Linkhiver in a new tab using your existing session. If you are signed out, you will be asked to sign in first, and your link is still waiting when you are.

Can it add links to my page without me?

No. It opens a pre-filled form and stops. You are the one who presses Save.
